Details

The use of social media has expanded rapidly and changed the way people communicate, engage and collaborate. Law firms and individual lawyers are rapidly catching up with a proliferation of law blogs - or 'blawgs' - and networking sites, particularly LinkedIn. The potential of these media for law firms, particularly in reputation management and marketing, is immense.

The key benefits of this timely special report are:

  • solicitor friendly guidelines on making the best use of social media across business functions including marketing, communications, PR, recruitment and HR
  • analysis based on extensive interviews with solicitors and marketing staff at prominent law firms
  • a guide to best practice in key social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn
  • practical instructions on writing a successful and productive blog
  • dedicated LinkedIn support and resource group unique to those who purchase the book.
